President Donald Trump hosted Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman at the White House with grand ceremony, brushing aside human rights questions and insulting a reporter. Trump formalized approval to sell F-35s to Saudi Arabia, said broader security and a civilian nuclear deal would proceed, and announced Saudi Arabia would be a major non-NATO ally. The U.S. and Saudi Arabia agreed on nearly 300 tanks, while the prince pledged to lift investments in the U.S. to $1 trillion. MBS reiterated joining the Abraham Accords only with a clear path to a two-state solution.
